If I'm the Falcons I'm going after Cousins in FA. 

Cousins or Wilson, depending on the cost for either. 

Fields is actually a bad gamble. You have to decide on his 5th year deal almost immediately, so it could end up being a more expensive bust than you had planned on if you do that and he plays the way he has in his first three years.

Cousins or Wilson offer an option to immediately be the best team in the NFC South.

Keep an eye on the Steelers.  As much talk as there is about Fields going to the Falcons, the Steelers rumblings aren't fading away.

At this point I think Atlanta gets the first crack, BUT if somehow things don't go swimmingly with a proposed deal with the Bears, expect the Steelers swoop in and snag Fields.

Shefty said the Steelers were always the most realistic landing spot.

 

The Atlanta rumors just seem to be media driven. I said the Falcons should be going after Cousins as he is the best QB available. Cousins with those weapons the Falcons easily win the South.

They are probably weighing what it would take to get to #2 or #3 versus a trade for Fields.  Obviously if the Bears are dealing Fields, they are staying at #1 to take Williams.

As far as Cousins goes, I think he'll want to go to a team that's a closer to a title run.  He'll only go to Atlanta if they are the highest bidder by a wide margin.

Honestly they are in a great position, either to stay put for QB4, move up for QB2/3, trade for Fields or sign a solid veteran like Cousins.

I mean Atlanta is obviously the best choice for Cousins if he's trying to win.

 

He has to go through Detroit/GB if he stays in Minnesota.

Atlanta is not the only team in need of a veteran QB.  Agreed playing for the Vikings is an uphill battle in that division.  Maybe he likes the team, doesn't want to move and not shy about the challenge of stiff competition, who knows?  Cousins to Atlanta makes sense, but it's no where close to a slam dunk.

Just for the record I think he stays in Minny. Just saying if I was him I would go to Atlanta.

Not sure what has been discussed, but they recently announced that fields is not getting the offers the Bears had hoped to get...Russell Wilson getting released is going to make him cheaper without a trade.  Cousins is now the favorite in Atlanta if he moves, but their second choice is Baker Mayfield. 

Oh my.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
